Preparation

“This is one of those classic dishes that you just want to give a slightly different twist to. Lightly smoked meat adds so much more depth—it really is a game-changer.”

Step 1
Soak a handful of smoking wood in water for about 30 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat the barbecue to 100 °C using indirect heat and place the stainless steel grill in position. Add the smoking wood.

Step 3
Season the veal with salt and pepper. Brush lightly with olive oil.

Step 4
Cook the meat to a core temperature of 52 °C for approximately 45–50 minutes.

Step 5
Meanwhile, drain the tuna and blend all the ingredients for the sauce into a slightly chunky, creamy sauce.

Step 6
Remove the meat from the BBQ, take off the grill and place a cast-iron pan on it. Increase the temperature to 220 °C.

Step 7
Grill the meat briefly on all sides (2 × 1 minute) to achieve a nice color.

Step 8
Leave the meat to cool completely and slice into paper-thin slices.

Step 9
Serve with the tuna sauce, mixed salad, capers and a little lemon zest.
